As with any new product it is difficult to know all the questions without physically using it first.įortunately Chris Gillit from Garmin will be present during our promo day and I am sure that he will be able to answer most of the questions we'll have. As for the swell, according to the literature I have studied, it does have an option to calibrate the Quickdraw in accordance with the swell height and period. I personally think the Quickdraw software's purpose is more too draw the contours in uncharted areas rather than calculate depths dependent on the tide, but I might be wrong. If you look under your tidal menu of your GPS, you will see that your GPS always knows the tide as well as the height of the tide depending on the moon phase.It might be that the unit will use this data to auto calibrate, but I cannot confirm that at this stage. The red dots represent Garmin Quickdraw Contours maps that have been shared for that region. Now if one looks at your normal digital (and paper) charting, depths are always given at the lowest possible depths.

Sets the color of the Garmin Quickdraw Contours display. I'd like to load this onto my 721xs, will the software also work on my Garmin 50s? And would i be able to take recordings and transfer them from unit to unit? Sets differences in contour depths and depth labels on the community contours maps to compensate for changes in the water level of a body of water, or for depth errors in recorded maps. Does it take tides into consideration? I like to sometimes plot reefs in shallow water and wondering how it might draw different images depending on tidal differences i.e water depths? And how will it take swell into consideration? Dorado wrote:This is fantastic news Deon, was wondering when this software would come to Garmin and now i see its a free upgrade! Just something that i was wondering about when i first heard about this.
